Uloga akcijskog istraživanja u razvoju socio-emocionalnih vještina učenika

Abstract

The paper presents socio-emotional skills in more detail, both through theoretical determination and through practical application in the form of action research with students in the third and fourth grade of primary school. The main goal of the research is to see how emotionally and socially literate students are, how much they know and how much they have developed certain characteristics (more specifically teamwork and creativity). By applying activities that were based on the previously mentioned characteristics, the emphasis was placed on encouraging a warm and pleasant climate in the classroom. The research took place in three phases. The first phase was followed by the design and preparation of both activities and actors. The second phase involved the implementation of activities after each formative evaluation. The third phase involved the final verification of the effects of activities on students, i.e. a summative evaluation, where the opinions of the participants on the work method and the introduced novelties that they had the opportunity to discover were examined. The obtained research results showed positive effects, that the students adopted the necessary and desirable skills in a different and more interesting way, as well as that they liked such applied work.
